“I’m grateful for the opportunity at KSP and joining Rajani is a natural progression of my career,” commented Balwani.

Balwani will be joining the corporate and private equity team of around five lawyers and three partners.

Balwani had joined KSP a year ago from ALMT Legal, where she was a senior associate.

Erstwhile Mumbai firm Rajani & Partners, which merged with Singhania & Partners last year, has just under 40 fee-earners in Mumbai in addition to 11 partners with Balwani.

Nationally, with offices in Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad, the headcount is around 100 lawyers.

KSP recently dissolved its insurance litigation vertical, Legally India had reported in February.

I have seen lot of documents prepared by the law firm khetan nd sud and honestly speaking these were superbly a waste. They don't know even the basics of law and the language is equally worse.
